Naturally Different

We believe Mother Nature has created the best classroom on earth. It is where the air is fresh and the colors vibrant. Outdoor learning is multidimensional, interactive and based on self-exploration.

Our programs and curriculum is based on the daily, monthly, and annual cycles of the environment and our teaching focuses on life-skills more than hard facts. Hale Reservation’s camps, family beach program, and school field trips bring over 15,000 children and adults to Hale annually.

Open your door, step outside, and join us!

Moonlight Snowshoe Hike

Join Hale leaders for a moonlight hike, or if there is enough snow, a snowshoe hike. Either way, we will explore Hale by moonlight visiting some of the higher hills and pond edges. Depending on participant interest, we will split into two groups – one for beginners and the other for those looking for a more active fitness experience. Children ages 16 and under must come with an adult.

The hike will be held on March 5, 2015 from 7pm – 9pm starting at the Trading Post.

Hale Day Camp Open House

Hale Day Camp will be holding an Open House on Saturday, March 7 from 1-3 pm at Hale Reservation. Come and learn about the programs we offer, meet some staff members and other campers, and take a tour of our beautiful facilities. To check the full list of Open House dates, please click here.
